glassy eyed

well blow me down



staggering
do you shop at macy's gray

i know its purple again
but then purple it must be

wideyed widowed

all eyes on me
framed

why are you riding so fast
if i move slow i lose focus

at the crosswalk

flinched
slowdown
hit the skids
too late

i think its leaking brake fluid

an extenuated circumstance



the cloistered
the cloak that wears you
reduced to must
its over whats due
your risque brass
blotted out the seen
half hearted flags
drip drop droop

windowdressing



cut the genes in my dreams
the splice of life

drew queens in spades
jack-the-knife

with the means to remain
gone to blazes

"excelsior!" he cried.

the fire is out

am i still dreaming yet?


stealing away
undeclared
concrete rivers
pitchblende
a false seance
of insecurity

shall i take the window or the stairs?

5% solution



for what its worth
this dolorous guile

a renewed silence
a retread smile

broken spells
movement swells

an overture rests
on an undercard
